Calm down, nerd.
Firstly, learn to spell 'experimental'. If you spelt it wrong once I would understand because people make typos, but you have spelt it wrong several times (infact, everytime).
Secondly, electrons follow a very specific property. Have you heard of electron shells? Well perhaps you can read up more about them because it is more than just a theory to assume that electrons exist. They do so much more than a simple gamma particle or beta particle.
And lastly, if you really want to know why two different particles with different properties share the same name, then please tell me which particles they are. I remember the whole periodic table in my head and I can tell you properties of every single element, so you can either ask me or learn chemistry to figure out the answer to your problem.

I don't see how the "rope theory" is better than the current model. I'm much more interested in the current theory which is backed by decades of research than the ravings of some guy who doesn't understand modern physics. There's bound to be major flaws in current theories in physics but that doesn't mean it's totally wrong either. I'd be more inclined to believe mr.stupidrelativist if one of his "theories" wasn't the mass extinction of humans within the next few decades. His over the top and at times absurd style doesn't do much for credibility either.
Modern accelerators take highly energetic particles, smash them together and entirely new particles are formed because of the high amount of energy involved. They measure to mass, momentum, charges of the stuff that comes out and discover/confirm new particles. I don't understand exactly how it all works but they're not just playing with multi-billion dollar toys for shits n giggles.

that rope theory is hilariously wrong. and space can very much have a shape, since it does have orthogonality. as does time, the fact that we can't choose to move in which direction we want doesn't change that. you know there's a mathematical funding for four-dimensional space, let's see some for your rope theory.

Of course there is space, but your definition of it is flat out wrong.
Time can be a dimension mathematically because it can be orthogonal to the other three dimensions. To say otherwise is just lying. Hell, we can even add multiple more dimensions a la string theory.
Where are you getting all these ideas of dissent from? youstupidrelativist.com? I looked on that website and it was talking about how gravity is not a force, it's a tension. If it were not a force and it were a tension then that means that nothing would fall to the ground, it would simply sit there with tension. Gravity is a constant force which is why you have 'weight' when the object is blocked from falling.
my source is feandft.com
and i really have nothing to add to what any of you said, becuase ur arguments is that im stupid, so theres no way i can reply to any of u guys
I know im right, just tryin to open some eyes but i guess that will never happen untill a new generation grows up with an open mind
